Subject: [PATCH 2/5] dt-bindings: watchdog: gpio: Describe minimum heartbeat intervals
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 15:16:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016221617.2223004-3-f.fainelli@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261016221617.2223004-1-f.fainelli@gmail.com>
Some GPIO-controlled watchdogs require a minimum interval between input
transitions. Add an optional hw-min-interval-ms property to describe this
constraint, allowing the watchdog core to defer early keepalives.
Also remove the 16-bit limit on hw_margin_ms. The generic GPIO driver has
no hardware register imposing this limit, and its heartbeat interval is
stored in an unsigned int. The MTX-1 watchdog has a nominal 100-second
hardware timeout and requires at least 1.6 seconds between transitions.
